I've only tried the Chapter 3 but it is very promising.

This topic irked my curiousity ... Which ended up in a thrawled through the web looking for a decent pic as I realised that I had not seen the bottle.

The launch whisky appears to be nicely bottled.

Oh yes, I like that bottle! I think I should start a collection based on bottle shape. It would fit better with my minimalist decor.

It seems to be an Ibisco Decanter like the ones that Signatory use. I love the shape, but they are fiddly to pour from.

I have an easy solution for you Willie ... a bigger glass and a bigger pour will solve all that awkwardness ;)

Probably won't get my bottles till after christmas

that bottle is awesome. reminds me of an old youngs or fullers bottle of beer. it was a special ale i think, but it had a knight slaying a dragon on the front

Hi JohnM,

Do you know how it's finished, what strength it is, age, etc.?

Thanks,
John.
